Interesting concept! Is there some way to put this article in a category where it will attract wider attention? Could street furniture be considered a subgroup of architecture? How about a "Safety" or "Civil Engineering" category? Right now, unless someone is already familiar with the concept they won't know to look it up. --Judah haNasi 05:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about this, but as Street furniture is the main article of Category:Street furniture you could palce it in the parent categories of Category:Street furniture, but I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do or not. Ae-a 19:55, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that technically that's a no-no, but it does sound like a good idea, so I'm going to do it. Thanks!--Judah haNasi 07:24, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

is this a UK-only term? RoI? Oz/NZ?

AFAIK, term is not used in US or Canada. can't think of a good equivalent, either. 66.105.218.8 (talk) 05:56, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes used in New York, as here]. Jim.henderson (talk) 01:08, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is definitely a UK term. You'll notice in the NY Times article they introduce it with quotes because it is unfamiliar. I am a US native with an extensive vocabulary and only heard of this term today. I changed the article to indicate that it is primarily a UK term, along with a dictionary reference that backs this up. 216.195.22.67 (talk) 12:38, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's used in India as well. I can quote some Tenders which use the term. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 13:07, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
